the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.

unique storyline (1 more)
the inclusion of the pictures make the story feel authentic
I read a lot of books and this was one of the most unique plot lines I have ever come across.
The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because the story did tend to get a bit confusing. I found myself being confused by the sheer amount of characters and having to slip back to remind myself who was who.

I really loved the photos & how unsettling they were.

Funny
Better than expected
I thought this was going to be an ok/ bad movie, but it was actually really good. The movie follows multiple characters and there dogs, and each story line was entertaining in its own way. The movie had a lot of funny parts, but still managed to get serious during some of the story lines. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romantic comedies, or someone looking for an unexpected jewel.

I'm not usually a fantasy fan, so Pandora Hearts (book 1) was a little confusing at the beginning. However, once the main characters were established, and the plot started to take form, it got a lot more interesting. By the end of the first book, there was a clear direction that the characters were moving in, so now that it all fits together, it'll be easier to move on to book 2! On with the story!

This isn't really a Dear Smashbomb advice post, more like an opinion poll...

What are everyone's views on alcohol? Do you drink a lot/too much/not a all?

I'm intrigued to know how everyone views alcohol. For me, whilst I can't say no to a nice glass of wine (or 2) or a cocktail, I don't like to get past tipsy or merry as I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my actions.

I don't care much what other people think. I do now have the reputation of the "non drinker", but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it is amusing to be the sober one and see others make fools of themselves. Save those photos for when you really need them! ?

I'm not a big drinker at all, I maybe have one a year. The alcohol I like is on the more expensive side, and I don't like the feeling. I'm typically the designated driver in most cases. I do attend happy hours, but always just have a cup of water. I get made fun of a little, but I know it's part of the territory. It also doesn't help to come from a family with alcohol issues (extended, not nuclear).

My sister just gave me this book from my dad's library collection. I'm honored to have it. I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it or not, tonight it caused a lot of debating with my family. We shall see what I think of it.

To be honest, I was not that impressed with Reverend Schuller's book A few things I've read in other books before and I agree with, then there are other things that just are so wrong.

Sorry didn't like or enjoy the music, listened to the soundtrack first to see if I wanted to go and see the movie as I had heard a lot about it, actually gave up after several songs as didn't motivate me or even want to listen to more, so will not be going to see the film - well might watch it when it comes out on the film channels so that it will be relatively free to watch.

Has a lot of fun and silly cards. (1 more)
While the strategy is rather low, there are still some fun combos you can pull off to sabotage another player or ascertain victory for yourself.
Can feel very dissatisfying when certain events unfold just the wrong way, and vice versa when another player gets perfect draws. Considering the entire game is based around what card you flip over, the randomization of the deck is more influential. (0 more)
Fun family game.

A very good film that feels similar in many ways to "Stand by me". Great acting from the young cast as a group of kids plan to get revenge on a bully. Though their attitudes change over the day, will they go through with it and with what repercussions?
The film handles the whole bully situaition well and will remind a lot of people how tough life can be as a young kid growing up and going through school.

Good cast overall
Not a lot of action (0 more)
Another apocalyptic tale similar to a quiet place, The Happening, The Mist. An unseen force drives people to commit suicide unless you can keep your eyes covered. Sounds like a slightly silly premise but the quality of the actors rise this above average. It could do with a bit more action but it will draw you in nevertheless. If you like these sort of films mentioned you'll like this.
